“Helen’s gift to the University of Denver Korbel School started an academic center that has provided scholarships for graduate-level students and taught more than 90 students public opinion and foreign policy,” says Floyd Ciruli, director of the Crossley Center.

Crossley was the founding member of the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) and served as the first female president of the World Association for Public Opinion Research (WAPOR). Her generous gift to the Korbel School will help students and the greater community understand American public opinion related to international affairs and international public opinion. “Both are key in developing international policy and working effectively with individuals in other countries,” says Christopher Hill, dean of the Korbel School.
